Jack Savoretti - One Man Band lyrics

Gotta get my stuff together I'm heading out Gotta do the things that I've been speaking 'bout Gotta show the world the difference between right and wrong Yes I gotta make myself a living writing songs I'm just a lonely singer on a lonely road This is the life that I chose I give it more So much more than what I've got Everything you think I am I am not 'Cause I'm just a one man traveling band Writing down poems on the back of my hand I'm hoping you will understand me I've come a long way I've given up the c**aine Looking for a chance to play a couple songs that I wrote along the way I never thought that I would ever learn guitar That I'd be the man on stage No Never thought that I would get to see the world Love and miss the band everyday But I headed out to California for margaritas by the pool And the house of a good old friend of mine I knew way back in school Just a box of wood Six strings This guitar I've played in bedrooms and still play in bars On city streets with pennies at my feet And you know I'll play for money I will play for free 'Cause I'm just a one man traveling band Writing down poems on the back of my hand I'm hoping you will understand me I've come a long way I've given up the c**aine Looking for a chance to play a couple songs that I wrote along the way I never thought that I would ever learn guitar That I'd be the man on stage No Never thought that I would get to see the world Love and miss the band everyday But I headed out to California for margaritas by the pool And the house of a good old friend of mine I knew way back in school Yes
